Mel, Thanks for that info. Having also been annoyed at FTM not being able to display in date order, I am grateful for your advice. I suppose, now I think about it, that many computer lists will format in the order required, (date, alphabetically,) if the field name is clicked.

The major gripe I have is that I cannot sort the facts chronologically. I live in hope that a future version will provide that option but in the meantime, I think I'll stick with the devil I know. Thanks for the tip though. If I fall out with FTM, I'll bear it in mind ;-) Heather Q Sue Hope wrote: > If you want to produce your own style of family tree there is > Microsoft Visio which I use at work for staff trees, but is also great > for hybrids within the family.
